TMNT References

Lil G · 08-02-2009, 01:29 AM

So I was just reading the TMNT Wikipedia page and noticed that they don't have a references part for the TMNT. So let's post what references or cameos or anything TMNT has been in or referenced in any types of media.

Television/Movies:

In the show Fresh Prince of Bel Air, some workmen bring in green chairs and Hilary tells them to take it out because it's not a Ninja Turtle party.

In the show Full House, TMNT is referenced in many episode, especially in one where Joey is caught with Ninja Turtle slippers, and is played a fool because of that.

Music:

In the song by Lil Wayne, Kush, he says:
Keep a bandanna like the Ninja Turtles

Also, in another song, Duffle Bag Boy Remix he says:

Nothing makes the situation better than cheddar
And I'm cutting through that cheese like a shredder
So i guess I'm famous like a ninja turtle

Well, that's it! Post the TMNT references you've spotted in any types of media!

Family Guy: The mayor is watching TV and you here the Old TMNT Cartoon theme song playing... love that part

PAAATE · 08-02-2009, 04:46 AM

In the CD booklet for Metallica's Master of Puppets it says:

"Also xtra ****en yahooz to...Carlsberg Bevees; Sushi; Absolut Vodka; Alka Seltzer; The Young Ones; Remoulade; Skykow; Boom Shankar; Teenage Mutant Ninja-Turtles; and most of all... Edna!!!!"

I dunno if it says the same thing in the vinyl, but that would be kinda neat, since the album is from 1986 i.e. before the tv show

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does actually.

And Guitarist Danny Spitz formerly of Anthrax has a custom TMNT guitar

*Turo602* · 08-02-2009, 06:25 AM

In the show Married with Children Al and Peggy are looking for coffins and the salesman goes up to Bud and Kelly and trys to sell a TMNT coffin to them.

It was hilarous the coffin was a big green shell with a pizza on it.

Woah

That's the most ****ing awesome thing I've ever seen

I remember back in 2003 in a contest called The Weakest Link there was a question "Who painted the Sistine Chapel?" and the guy didn't know the answer. When they ran out of time, the hoster asked him "Ever heard of Michelangelo?" and the guy answered "Yeah, he was one of the Ninja Turtles, right?" Everybody laughs.

A turtles, I believe Donatello, shows up in an episodes of South Park called Fantasy Land I think.

Tiffany watches the Golden Girls all the time they make a reference to them in there.

I have a friend who listens to a horrible band named Horse The Band. They did a terrible cover of the theme song on an EP and fashioned it after a pizza.

In Tiny Toons there was the Ninja Slugs or something like that and their arch nemesis was the Salter I think.

That's all I can remember now I'll post more if anything comes to mind.

Please do!

I'm 99% sure it says the same thing, but who knows..

In one episode of King of the Hill Bobby puts on a Ninja Turtles shirt.

In the series Dinosaurs in Robbie's room you can see a poster with some cavemen that are dressed like the turtles and the poster say's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Cavemen".

In think in the first episode of Two and a Half Men, Charlie says he wrote the Ninja Turtles theme song and starts singing some of the song.

doomiscool · 08-02-2009, 10:23 AM

I remember in the series "Reaper" when the main character Sam first met a girl named Cady, she was stopping her mum from selling her ninja turtles toys.

There's also a ref in "Fairly Odd Parents: Channel Chasers" where you see the credits for an apparent show called Karate Kows which look like cow version of the ninja turtles.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

hudemx · 08-02-2009, 10:48 AM

In the Movie Loaded Weapon (think the english Title was National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon) the Mainprotagonist enters Aprils Apartment (from the first Movie) and sees the Turtles playing a Game.

In the theme song to the Samurai Pizza Kats they sang: "they've got more fur than any turtle ever had"

And on the german Late Night Comedy Show "Freitag Nacht News" (Friday Night News) there was once a breef scene where the reporter said, that the german Police, after failing so often, was now replaced by the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

*ToTheNines* · 08-02-2009, 11:09 AM

I'm not certain, but isn't one of the chicks from X-Men a TMNT fan? I wanna say Jubilee, but I don't know... and it could have been either comics or X-Men TAS.

*Candy Kappa* · 08-02-2009, 11:29 AM

the show "step by step" had a lot of tmnt reference, boring show

**Jester** · 08-02-2009, 11:55 AM

In the Animaiacs episode, Hooked on a Ceiling where the Warner Brothers (and their sister Dot) torment Renaissance artist Michelangelo, in the opening of the scene a narrator explains to us who Michelangelo is and that popular culture has made us forget that Michelangelo is an artist, not a Turtle. The Turtles even appear on screen one saying "Hey, watch it, Dude." ala Michelangelo. The actor who does the parody Turtle's voice is TMNT's own Rob Paulsen.

In a X-Men cartoon episode Jubilee said on going off in the Blackbird, and complaining that "At least the Turtles had a pizza warmer in their van..."

This website hasn't been updated in a while but it lists the shows, movies, ect that mention or have the TMNT:

*Galactus* · 08-02-2009, 02:51 PM

I remember a mention in an episode Cheers one time.

Frasier saracasticaly mentioned pizza eating terrapins that practice martial arts in a sewer when Cliff chimed in "not many poeple know that was a comic first"

*Powder* · 08-02-2009, 03:32 PM

Super mario brothers cartoon featured an episode called giant evil ninja koopas or something and the koopa kids have black bandanas and the weapons of the turtles. Also on the venture brothers the redhead has a dream where a shadowed figure gives him a revelation (shaped like master splinter). In regards to that thing someone said about two and a half men, that was a special parody, the guys who did the OT turtles theme did the TAHM theme too.

*Galactus* · 08-02-2009, 03:59 PM

A few more...

In the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode The Trouble with Shellshock, Shellshock says "Wait till those Teenage Mutants see what a full-grown turtle can do!"

I also remember an issue of Wolverine were Pierce has arrived back from travelling through time.When Lady Deathstrike asks if he made any changes to the timeline he answers that he doesn't think anyone will miss that fifth Ninja Turtle.

Another one from a questionable era of comics; an issue of Amazing Spider-Man during Ben Reilly's tenure had Mysterio kidnap Ben and make him believe he'd been shrunk down to action figure and being attacked by toys including a Ninja Turtle. The turtle toy even features on the cover.
